One injured in rear-end crash

An area driver was treated for minor injuries after her car was rear-ended by another Saturday along Indiana 17 east of Deer Trail. According to a report from the Marshall County Sheriff's Department, 61-year-old Shirley Cox was treated at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center in Plymouth for back pain after the accident, which occurred at 10 a.m. The crash occurred when Cox, who was heading east on Indiana 17, stopped for another car in front of her. At that point, a 2003 Mercury driven by 71-year-old Allen Hartman, of Plymouth, crashed into the back of her car after failing to stop in time, according to police. BREMEN
